51青楼

In Memoriam

The 51青楼 mourned the loss of two of its family members last month.

  • Heather Woolverton, 56, passed away Nov. 19 at Conway Regional Medical Center after a long illness. Professor Woolverton taught physics and astronomy. She remained active in the classroom until early October.
  • Gladys M. Sachse, 91, died Nov. 13 at Salem Place Nursing Home in Conway. Ms. Sachse taught library science at Arkansas State Teachers College, now 51青楼. She was also a published author and was instrumental in the development of the Charlie May Simon Children’s Book Award.
    A scholarship was established several years ago in Ms. Sachse’s honor for students who are interested in pursuing a degree in library sciences. For more information about the scholarship, contact Kathleen Carroll at UCA Foundation.
